Bologna’s Italian winger Simone Verdi has been a revelation so far this season in the Serie A for Bologna. The former AC Milan youth team player has been heavily linked with a move to Inter and Napoli but has stressed many times that he is not interested in leaving Bologna mid-season.
Italian media outlet Premium Sport however, report that after Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis personally got involved in the negotiations, Napoli and Bologna have found an agreement for the immediate transfer of Verdi to the Partenopei.
According to the report Napoli will pay €24 million and another €2 million in add-ons for Verdi who is not entirely convinced regarding the transfer. The reason for Verdi’s hesitation is as mentioned above, that he does not think changing teams in the middle of the season to reunite with his former coach Sarri would benefit him.
According to the same report Inter have decided to pursue FC Barcelona winger Gerard Deulofeu instead and are therefore effectively out of the race to sign the Bologna player.
I would love to have both of them in the squad. As mr Sarri said, Deulofeu has good speed and Verdi has good feet. Deulofeu devastating movement would be dangerous as counter attack threat, he could harass opponent defence by himself. In the opposite, Verdi could deliver beautiful cross to feed Icardi’s head plus his set piece and corner are high class too. #IMHO
We have perisic and candreva on that role. Something we’re missing is a creative amf.
Pure number 10, indeed. I just express my thought mate 🙂
Anw, Verdi was deployed as amc in some matches. He did the job well. Probably he could be our answer although the pure is prefered.
Yes but Deu played the ” 10 ” too.
Or the second striker ,closer to the box and more central.
Even thou , like Verdi , he is more of a natural winger.
Same thing
Same here , I like them both ,but if I am really forced to pick ONLY one , then I agree with inter choice in this case.
Altogether Deu seems a little better ,a little more of factor and also a little more proven at higher level than what has always been Verdi’s career.
I personally, on limited budget, choose Verdi. Regardless of his technical abilities, I want him grow and explode wearing nerazzurri shirt so that our older cousin could watch his beautiful goal hitting into their net. #peace
Verdi is better.
I think verdi is a better goal scorer , he doesn’t have a weak foot. we watched him scoring 2 goals from set piece with right and left foot in the same match. But I see Deulofeu being faster and better at dribbling
